New Wrasse being constantly bullied

[serbusfish]

I bought a new Wrasse today and as soon as he went in the tank he starting being chased by my Coral Beauty, later my clowns had a go at him too, he ended up stuffing his face into a crevice after kicking up sand and shedding some scales. I actually thought he was dead as my hermit crab started picking at his fins, but he has since moved, now he is at the back of the tank on his side panting rapidly.

What can I do? How am I supposed to add new fish to the tank if this sort of thing is going to happen?

I can get one for future use, but is there nothing I can do right now? All stores are shut and i'm working the next two days.

Surprised the quarantine all fish folks haven't jumped in here. First alot of people would never introduce a fish right into the display tank they would quarantine it first, well we are pass that point so the only other thing that you could do at this point is maybe rearrange the rock work and go lights out a few days so the fish have to reestablish their turf while they renegotiating their territory maybe the Wrasse will find a spot.

Sadly the fish was dead within a few hours of going into tank. Really upset by it, he was a beautiful fish, I have never known my fish be that way with a new arrival. I went back to the LFS and picked up a acclimation box and a second wrasse. I acclimated the new fish as normal, fixed the box to the inside of the tank and netted the fish into it. He has been inside for around 3 hours, and so far the only fish that keeps going up to him is my larger Clown. He was biting the plastic a lot at first, he is not doing this as much at the moment but he keeps hanging around the box, obviously trying to get to the fish. How long will the Wrasse be OK in the box for? Do you think the Clown will leave him alone eventually?

I filmed a short video:
